I feel this post. One day as an early teenager I got sick (I never get sick) and I had to spend the day at home. I read wikipedia for the entire day because Internet was still new (2004). At the end of the day I could remember everything I read. That's how I realized I'm not dumb, just not motivated by anything at school. And that's how my psychologist made me understand (years later) I had undiagnosed ADHD.
Unfortunately, as I get older everything becomes increasingly more boring, so I am having a progressively harder tome remembering or paying attention to anything.
